[0:35] Attorney General, please.
[0:35] Yes, sir.
[0:37] The Attorney General, sir.
[0:41] Yes, sir.
[0:42] John.
[0:42] Yes, sir.
[0:44] I don't, are you, I was thinking I might step out for two or three hours this afternoon.
[0:49] Are you free by any chance?
[0:50] Yes, sir.
[0:50] Could you play golf?
[0:52] Oh, hell, I could, but the problem is I've got an antitrust meeting.
[0:57] I'll let you evaluate how important which is which.
[1:00] The antitrust meeting?
[1:01] Mm-hmm.
[1:02] What time?
[1:03] 3.30, unfortunately.
[1:08] Well, what the hell?
[1:08] I think maybe we could ask Ehrlichman to put that off.
[1:12] Isn't that what it is?
[1:13] That's it, yeah.
[1:15] I'll tell you, I'll get a hold of John, and could you do it tomorrow?
[1:19] Oh, yes, sure.
[1:20] Fine.
[1:21] I see he has another group with Connolly and Flanagan and so forth, but you know where my interest might be.
[1:28] Well, I'll tell you, frankly...
[1:30] Everybody knows I've got to talk to you about this judicial thing.
[1:32] We'll just have to put that off.
[1:34] Okay, shall we...
[1:37] I'll tell you what we'll do.
[1:38] Do you have your stuff at Burning Tree, or here, or where?
[1:41] I haven't the faintest idea, but I gather it's...
[1:45] I need some clothes out of the apartment and some... Well, I've got clubs there.
[1:51] There's no problem about that.
[1:52] You've got clubs.
[1:52] Fine.
[1:53] Well, I think the best thing is for us to go separately then.
[1:56] Yeah, probably easier for me to meet you.
[1:58] Fine.
[2:00] When could you leave?
[2:01] When would you like to go?
[2:03] As your convenience.
[2:05] There's nothing else on?
[2:06] Well, let's see.
[2:07] It's now 110.
[2:07] And you could...
[2:15] Why don't we say we'll be there ready to tee off at 2.30?
[2:19] That would be great, sir.
[2:21] Give you time to get to the apartment.
[2:23] I'm going to dress here, because I don't like to dress out there, and I'll come back.
[2:29] And we'll tee off at 2.30.
[2:31] Yes, sir.
[2:32] And I'll meet you there.
[2:33] Very good.
[2:34] I look forward to it.
[2:35] Call someone, please.
